1. PAYMENT

1.1. Depending on your choice of services, your Treatment Package price will include the costs of one or more of the following:

1.2. You will incur additional charges for any tests considered necessary because of a pre-existing condition or your exposure or vulnerability to any condition.

1.3. Once you have accepted these Terms and Conditions, you will be required to pay a deposit to us. You may pay your deposit via credit card, debit card or bank transfer.

1.4. If the deposit is not paid before you depart from your home country, you will be in breach of this Agreement and Longevita will not be obligated to deliver any services to you.

1.5. The remainder of your balance, which is the package price minus the deposit, must be paid in cash to the Service Provider at time of checking in to their facility. If you choose to pay us the full package price prior to your treatment, this rare case of us obtaining the full payment does not hold us liable for the services provided by the Service Provider.

1.6. Your treatment package may include stay at the hospital. In cases where you stay more than one night, additional nights will be charged to you at the current rates of the hospital.

2. YOUR TREATMENT

2.1. LIMITATION of LIABILITY: Longevita does not provide medical advice nor does operate or control any Service Provider facility or service rendered by them. Your treatment forms and prompts a contractual relationship between you and the Service Provider providing the treatment. We do not hold medical qualifications and shall not be held responsible or liable for any medical procedures provided through your chosen Service Provider. Nor shall be held responsible or liable for any care, treatment or other services you are provided with by the same, or for any malpractice claims that may arise directly or indirectly from their advice. Similarly, we shall not take any responsibility or liability for the complications and dissatisfactions arising from Service Provider’s treatments. Our role is solely to facilitate a consultation and/or dialogue between you and your Service Provider. We strongly recommend that you read Service Provider’s terms and conditions and consent forms carefully prior to proceeding with your treatments.

2.2. The treatment plans offered by Longevita as a result of email exchanges, telephone conversations or video consultations are purely based on the information (i.e. the pictures, test results, prescriptions, x-rays, etc) provided by you and reviewed by the Service Provider. Therefore, your treatment plan may change when the Service Provider examines you in person before your Procedure.

2.3. If such a change occurs, you have the option not to go ahead. In such circumstances, you will receive a refund after deductions for, among other things, tests and consultations. Please be advised that we are not responsible for refunding your accommodation, travel and transfer costs as those arrangements are made through third party providers, which are not in our control nor operated by us.

2.4. If you want to proceed with the new treatment plan, then you will receive a revised price quotation, and the remaining balance to the Service Provider will be adjusted, based on the initial deposit paid. The number of days that you would need to stay in Turkey will be factored in. If the treatment plan changes, the duration of stay may also change. Longevita takes no responsibility for this and cannot be held liable for the non-arrangement or disorganisation of extra days stayed or extra cost of stay.

2.5. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you agree not to hold Longevita responsible for medical negligence or malpractice by your chosen Service Provider.
